You can terminate x by calling a run-level that does not use it.Open a terminal and us su to become a root user.Enter 'init 3' without the quotes.You will see the runlevel you are in shut-down and the new one will start up.

No x means no gui so be prepared to work in text mode.You will have to sign in as user first. Then just type 'vasm' again without the quotes. Then choose super from the list. This should get you back to the choices you had when using VasmCCWhat program are you trying to run.?Ken

you may also access tui or text user interface during boot by useing the down arrow to highlight tui and hit enter..if the gui is not working you still have access..I think hardware config in vasm requires text mode

Thanks! Everyone for the tips. Initially I tried Pitas ...Control Alt..+ F1, that just gave me a Blue screen and HOPE. So I tried Contro + Alt + F2. That worked great. Control Alt F7 got me back "windows". Now I will be able to access some settings I could not do before. Thanks again everyone. Frank
